Great Manchester Run 2025 – Team Alexander triumphs for The Christie Charity
Team Alexander ran the Great Manchester Run 2025 yesterday, raising money for The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.
It’s a charity very close to our hearts, following one of our long-serving staff members being diagnosed and subsequently undergoing treatment from them. At the time of writing, we have raised over £2,600, and further donations are always appreciated.
The Great Manchester Run is one of the highlights in our annual fundraising calendar, and arguably the most enjoyed event by the participants. We have been participating in this event for many years.
It was a hot day, nevertheless, 23 runners from Alexander & Co took to the streets and subsequently completed the course. Many of our runners achieved personal bests, alongside some of the team competing for the first time.
We thank every team member who ran or is raising funds for this important charity.
